Today, we finally got to try on the homemade costume I made and see how it looked on T. [ Check out the making of the owl costume here. ] More importantly, I was concerned she wouldn’t want to wear it.. ha. Luckily, she was more than happy to wear it and better yet, she had a great time. Check out the pictures below.
Here is me and both my little owls – little baby brother is peaking out from the belly at 24 weeks …
T loves collecting acorns!
Wishing you a very happy, fun and safe Halloween!!
Check out the previous post here, for the making of T’s owl costume.

"OKAY, OKAY ... I'm up! ...(as I pull the covers over my head and curl up into a ball.) Ugh, - not another day. Another day where I'm not pregnant, where I have to commute 2 hours a day to work, oh, and it's cold outside!"
.
<--- This was me around year 3 of trying to get pregnant.
Notice any red flags? Yup, negativity. I woke up focusing on everything negative.
.
When you woke up this morning, what was the first thing that came to mind?
Was it something positive, "Yes! a brand new day!!" or was it something like "uggggh... not another day...."
.
I hope it was positive, but if it wasn't, let's face it, we've all been there, including me.
.
The good news is there are easy ways to flip that switch.
.
My mornings now start very differently (and it's not because I have kids) It's because I actively punch out the negative thoughts that want to creep in and replace it with positives = who/what I am grateful for, look over to the visual of my tree of goals sitting by my bed, and focus on one thing I can control today that I can get done. My one priority. If I get this done, the day is a success.
.
The next time you find yourself waking up on the wrong side of the bed, remember that you have the power to flip the switch.
.
The keys are:
1. gratitude
2. visual reminders of what your goals/values/strengths are
3. only focus on what you can control
4. prioritize one doable goal for the day
5. a morning routine (meditating, drinking water, coffee, morning exercise)
.
Ready?
.
GOOD MORNING 💛!
